Apocalypse Arrival - chapter 197

The huge earth thorns that soared into the sky in the Wuyuan villa area disappeared, and a huge rammed earth city wall rose amid the rumbling noise, building a vast yellow sand castle.

When Gao Yan and Yan Xue returned from shopping, they saw Xu Xiangyang hanging a huge sign of the Heart of Winter on the door.

Standing outside the door, Chu Qianxun was watching with a smile.

“Qianxun,” Gao Yan walked to Chu Qianxun, “I just bought a piece of news from the market. It’s a piece of news about a fourth-order demon. The location of the demon is only twenty or thirty miles away from Ludao Island.”

She took out a paper from her pocket, which recorded the location and characteristics of the fourth-order demon in detail.

“Oh, good. I need this,” Chu Qianxun’s eyes lit up, put down her hands interlaced on her chest, and took the piece of paper.

Her recent ability had improved rapidly, and she was about to hit the fourth-order critical stage. Ye Peitian had also been in the critical stage of third-order. He was ready to advance, and she was in urgent need of the fourth-order crystal core.

“But I think this news is not simple as I got it too easily.” Gao Yan frowned, “It feels like the person selling the news was waiting to sell the news to us.”

“Maybe he knows of our Heart of Winter, so he waited for us specifically. Ordinary teams don’t dare to fight a fourth-order demon, right?” Yan Xue disagreed with Gao Yan’s opinion and helped Chu Qianxun. Next, she successfully crossed the second-order, and had just entered the third-order, she was more eager for high-level combat.

“Anyway, we have to go and see,” Chu Qianxun flipped through the note and folded it in her hand.

When Chu Qianxun packed up her equipment and entered the hall, she saw Ruan Xiaoyue sitting on a chair with her hands in shackles. She had just washed her hair and her eyes were a little dull. She let Granny Feng hold a large towel to help her wipe her wet hair.

“Qianxun, you’re here? I’ve cooked the food, and you can leave after eating,” Granny Feng put down the towel and went into the kitchen to bring out a hearty lunch.

A group of people who were about to set off sat around the table to feast on.

Ruan Xiaoyue’s position was next to Chu Qianxun. She quietly looked at Chu Qianxun uncomfortably. She moved the chopsticks with her bandaged hand, but she barely ate.

Chu Qianxun raised her hand slightly, wanting to say that she could eat.

Ruan Xiaoyue subconsciously raised her arms to cover her head and face. It was a habitual behavior for children who were often beaten.

Chu Qianxun remembered what she had through her ability. She saw her imprisoned in black fear, and forced to experience the most feared experience repeatedly.

That was why the little girl became like that. When others raised their hands, she thought she was going to get beaten.

Granny Feng put vegetables in her bowl, “Eat it, child. Don’t be afraid, it’s delicious.”

Qi Yongchun also put vegetables in Ruan Xiaoyue’s bowl, “Don’t worry about it. The pomegranate flowers are blooming in the yard. After eating, Brother Qi will take you to see.”

“Don’t be afraid, Xiaoyue. Sister Qianxun looks a bit fierce, but she is actually gentle,” Gao Yan said.

They didn’t know when they had been spoiling this girl that Chu Qianxun ordered them not to open her handcuffs.

Ruan Xiaoyue looked at Chu Qianxun, took a bite of the food cautiously, waited a moment, and took another bite of the meal.

Chu Qianxun didn’t know what it was like in her heart.

She randomly picked vegetables and stuffed them in Ruan Xiaoyue’s bowl, “As long as you don’t cause trouble, no one here will beat you.”

When Ruan Xiaoyue got her words, her eyes seemed to light up, and she lowered her head to pick up rice.

After lunch, Chu Qianxun and the others left Ludao Island to find the fourth-order demon according to the map on the paper.

It was a huge and weird “tree”, and branches with a little silver light hung from the silver-white trunk. The silver light spots had a fantastic and weird beauty in the evening sun.

A man who had come from nowhere seemed to be confused by the beautiful scenery, staggered to the tree, and knelt down religiously.

A large white flower bloomed on the top of the branch, and a huge human-shaped face appeared in the center of the trembling petals. The face looked peaceful, with low eyebrows, bent down from the treetop, opened its mouth to spit out a curly straw and inserted it into the human kneeling on the ground. A section of bright red rose along the plain white pipe and the white petals gradually turned to red. The person who knelt on the ground did not resist, even before death, there was no expression of pain.

“Extraditioner,” said Chu Qianxun, who was hiding in the distance, and saw that scene with the telescope.

For demons that moved very fast, such as Stalkers and Fischers, their offensive or defensive ability was generally weaker. But for those slow-moving demons, such as Blunt Walkers, their attack and defense capability was often terrifying.

The demon called Extraditioner who was rooted in one place and could never move, compared to the same-level demon’s attack and defense capability, was even more abnormal.

“Don’t go there, stay here to prevent others from making trouble,” Chu Qianxun said.

A warm palm stretched out from the side and held her arm silently.

Chu Qianxun looked at the people around her and added, “Peitian, come with me.”
